[Linganth] Narratives and Performances of "Wellness"

[Charles Briggs]

I would add Summerson Carr's wonderful Scripting Addiction. I've worried 
about narratives, wellness and disease a bit in a few books, Stories in 
the Time of Cholera, Making Health Public, and Tell Me Why My Children 
Died. But there's a lot more out there. The Mattingly and Garro 
Narrative and the Cultural Construction of Illness and Healing Styling 
is very helpful, for example.
